Visits to libraries will normally be charged at a rate based on my standard fee but taking into account the length of the visit.

Bookshop events will usually be free of charge. This assumes that the visit will include no more than a reading or two and a signing session, and that there’ll be tea and biscuits. Chocolate ones.

It’s been my experience so far that festivals generally offer a reasonable fee as standard. If you’re a festival and you’d like to book me, then please let me know how much you pay contributors - I’d expect you to pay me the same as any other contributor.

Evil criminal geniuses bent on world domination should expect to pay upfront, in full.
